About Elaine
Hey there! I’m Elaine—counsellor, teacher, mother of three amazing girls, and someone who's always eager to learn.
Growing up as the eldest of five siblings in Sydney and then moving to Ireland at eleven, I've had the privilege of feeling deeply connected to two wonderful countries. The experience of creating a sense of "home" in both places has taught me how important it is to find your community and build your own support system, wherever life takes you.
Professionally, I’ve blended my love for psychology, education, and counselling into a career I’m so passionate about. I’ve been privileged to study in universities across Ireland, England, and Australia, which has given me a rich mix of knowledge and skills that I now use to help people just like you.
My career has taken me from classrooms in London and Western Australia, where I worked as an Assistant Deputy Principal, Special Educational Needs Coordinator, and classroom Teacher to my current role as a counsellor, workshop facilitator and program designer. These diverse experiences have helped me design programs that truly make a difference, for both adults and children.
What I love most about my job is that it allows me to keep growing—every client and every colleague teaches me something new. And being able to offer therapy online means I get to help people no matter where they are. Whether you're at home, at work, or wherever feels safest for you, we can connect and focus on your mental health, together.
I’m proud and grateful to do what I do, and I can’t wait to help you find the space, support, and emotional care you deserve. Let’s get started!
